Can an emergency shutdown system and a video surveillance system share the same multi-core optical cable?
Thread Content
RT, please ask an expert for help
It is best for 2 systems to use two main cables, so as not to interfere with each other.
Emergency shutdown systems are generally installed separately
Are there regulatory requirements that mandate independent setup?
The current situation is that a new emergency shutdown system is being installed, and we would like to use the spare cores of the existing main video surveillance cable. Are there any regulations that require an independent setup?
Branches with armored shielding layers can be used, but they cannot share the same channel.
Light signals are transmitted between optical fibers, so there is no issue of interference between them; the spare fiber cores can be utilized in such cases. I’m not sure whether your emergency shutdown system has monitoring capabilities; if control is required, two optical cables must be used simultaneously as backups, with one running through the cable trench and the other through the cable tray
